My interest in ranching goes back to the late 80's when I began documenting a centennial ranch in south central Colorado. And in 2001, upon the completion of "The Cogan Ranch, Portrait of the Vanishing West," there was a gallery show, TV interviews and publication in several magazines.

In the years since then, I've felt like the issues facing ranching in America have only increased in number and intensity. Last year, I decided to begin a new series to speak to this issues with both still and motion pictures. With the generous support of The University of Wyoming College of Business, a business plan was developed and a website and trailer is now online at AHandfulofDust.com.

I'm excited about the possibilities for this project, and the wonderful initial support the effort is receiving. For information, go to AHandfulofDust.com.
